Alexander signed with East Carolina, Bullock with Providence, and Romero with Marshall.

This marks the third consecutive year the Warriors' boys team has had at least one player sign with a Divison I program. But Romero is believed to be the first girls' basketball player at Kecoughtan to sign with a D-I school since Tajama Abraham (George Washington) in 1992.

She was flanked by Alexander and Bullock at the school’s ceremony.

“All three of these young people aren’t just good student athletes,” Kecoughtan principal Raymond Haynes said. “They exhibit good character as well.”

Hoping to reverse a recent trend and draw more high-profile athletes, the Virginia High School Coaches Association voted this week to move its all-star football and basketball games to their traditional seasons.
